Sr. Huang et Yw. Lin, APPLICATIONS OF CLUSTER-ANALYSIS IN MONTE-CARLO PRODUCTION SIMULATION, IEEE transactions on power systems, 11(2), 1996, pp. 1052-1058
The paper describes a computer algorithm designed for Monte Carlo prod
uction simulation. The design seeks to enhance the precision of produc
tion cost estimation at a reduced computation time of the existing app
roach. The techniques included are cluster sampling and proportional e
stimate. The algorithm has been evaluated and compared numerically wit
h the existing approach. The effectiveness on precision improvement is
demonstrated in this paper.
